Flower Magnets on Zazzle

I love flowery summertime magnets posted on the refrigerator in my kitchen. They brighten up the room and remind me of how short our summers are. So enjoy it now before snow season comes.

Living in the upper Midwest, we have long winters and short summers. When summer does finally come around, nothing is more magnificent then seeing flowers in bloom and enjoying a nice sunny (not too hot and humid) day.

Sometimes our spring and summer start late. For the last couple of years, we have had heavy snowfalls for the month of April. Many people from other areas of the country and world are bragging this time about their flower gardens, while we have a fresh blanket of snow. Spring was a cool one this year and summer came late. When the flowers finally arrived, it was a welcomed sight.

Below are a few my favorite flower photos on refrigerator magnets. Some of these I took from our yard, inside house and when visiting Green Bay Botanical Garden. Almost all of these design images also found on cards, stickers, mugs, t-shirts, tote bags, postage stamps, mousepads and many other product types. Find all of these on Sandyspider Gifts on Zazzle.

Flower Gifts and Zazzle

Flowers and Zazzle means more than giving out a greeting card, a mug, t-shirt, necktie, or keychain with flowers to someone you care about. It symbolizes our feelings of love, friendship, remembrance, apology, or a thoughtful expression. A bouquet of flowers is given out on birthdays, anniversary, weddings or part of a get well wish.

Passion of Tulips

The tulip originated in Persia and Turkey over ten decades ago. They were named turban from the headdress that the Persians wore. When the flower became fully opened it was thought to resemble a turban. Europeans brought back these flowers to the Netherlands in the 16th century. They mistakenly gave their name as tulips. Tulips are the foremost national symbol of Holland and are now widespread throughout the world.
